Absorb Plus Lightweight Bed Pad (800ml)

Lightweight Reusable Bed Protection

The Absorb Plus Lightweight Bed Pad is a reusable 85 x 90 cm bed pad with absorbency of up to 800 ml. It is the lightest-capacity option in MoveSmart's current Absorb Plus bed-pad range, making it a practical choice where moderate protection and easy laundering are the priorities.

A densely woven polyester top surface provides a soft contact layer, while the waterproof polyurethane (PU) backing helps protect the sheet and mattress beneath. The non-slip backing is designed to reduce movement during normal use.

Reusable incontinence bed pads are also commonly called Kylie bed pads, Kylie sheets or simply Kylies. 

When the 800 ml Pad Is a Good Fit

This version suits situations where a full-size reusable bed pad is useful but the higher capacity of the 1500 ml or 2500 ml models is not needed. Its lighter construction also makes it easier to handle when changing the bed or moving the pad in and out of the laundry.

If the pad tends to shift or bunch on the bed, MoveSmart also carries an 800 ml version with side flaps that tuck beneath the mattress.

Choosing Between Absorb Plus Bed Pads

The main differences across the range are absorbency and whether side flaps are included. Choose 800 ml for lighter everyday protection, 1500 ml for a useful mid-capacity option, or 2500 ml when higher absorbency is the priority. If movement on the bed is a concern, the 800 ml and 1500 ml flapped versions provide extra anchoring under the mattress.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does the lightweight bed pad absorb?

The pad is designed to absorb up to 800 ml and measures 85 x 90 cm.

Who is the 800 ml version best suited to?

It is the lightest-capacity Absorb Plus bed pad and is a good fit where moderate reusable bed protection is needed without the extra bulk of a higher-capacity pad.

What is the difference between the 800 ml, 1500 ml and 2500 ml pads?

They use the same 85 x 90 cm coverage area but offer progressively greater absorbency: 800 ml, 1500 ml and 2500 ml. The higher-capacity versions are useful when more fluid protection is required.

Should I choose the version with flaps?

Choose the flapped version if the pad tends to shift or bunch. The side flaps tuck beneath the mattress to help hold it in place.

Which side faces up?

Place the soft quilted side facing up and the waterproof PU backing facing down against the bed sheet.

Can it be machine washed and tumble dried?

Yes. Warm wash and warm tumble dry up to 80°C, or line dry.

Can I use bleach?

If bleach is needed, use hydrogen peroxide bleach only. Chlorine bleach can damage the waterproof PU backing.

Is the pad reusable?

Yes. It is designed for repeated washing and drying rather than single-use disposal.

Is the backing waterproof?

Yes. The polyurethane backing is waterproof and is designed to help protect the sheet and mattress beneath the pad.

Does the non-slip backing mean the pad cannot move?

The backing is designed to reduce movement during normal use, but no loose bed pad can be guaranteed not to move. If shifting or bunching is a recurring issue, the version with mattress-tucking side flaps may be a better choice.

Can this be used alongside other continence products?

Yes. A reusable bed pad can form one part of a broader continence-management setup. The right combination of products depends on the user's individual needs and the level of protection required.

Is the Absorb Plus Lightweight Bed Pad available for delivery across New Zealand?

Yes. This bed pad is available for delivery throughout New Zealand.

Are Absorb Plus bed pads the same as Kylies?

“Kylie”, “Kylie sheet” and “Kylie bed pad” are commonly used search terms for reusable incontinence bed pads.
